It takes a lot for a vocalist to sing over a standalone beat like Gold Panda’s “You” and feel like she was there all along, but Charli XCX pulls it off admirably and fills the void in electro-dance pop that Katy B did with drum and bass.
[Verse 1]
Yeah, we got a situation
Lock down, and I'm trapped in the basement
I'm a victim of replacement
'Cause you acting so leather
Trying to put across your statement, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I know you struggle
Choke when you see love grow
[Chorus]
You, you lied
Ha ha ha ha, I was right
All along, good job

[Verse 2]

Ha-ha-ha-ha, I was right
All along, good job
Good job, you fucked it up
It's a front, good job
Good job, you fucked it up
